# Plot3D Marketing Theme Help

New to Mathematica so forgive me if this seems trite.

Using the following code

RevolutionPlot3D[3 t, {t, 0, 3},
PlotStyle -> Directive[RGBColor[0.5, 1, 1], Opacity[0.67]],
MeshStyle -> Directive[Opacity[0.67]],
PlotTheme -> "Marketing", BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 3}]


I get the following result

The problem is that with this theme, if I orient the graphic such that +x,+y, and +z all point in their standard directions, the half-box is oriented such that my solid is behind it. How could I change the axes such that my image is visible and with axes pointing in the appropriate direction?

• Post your code in a code block so that readers can copy and paste it into a notebook. – Bob Hanlon Jul 15 '17 at 3:16
• RevolutionPlot3D[3 t, {t, 0, 3}, PlotStyle -> Directive[RGBColor[0.5, 1, 1], Opacity[0.67]], MeshStyle -> Directive[Opacity[0.67]], PlotTheme -> "Marketing", BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 3}] – Lanier Freeman Jul 15 '17 at 3:20
• In the meantime I've just turned axes off and am content with the result – Lanier Freeman Jul 15 '17 at 3:21

Your problem is that you are confused about what are the x,y,z axes. If you add AxesLabel->{x,y,z}, you'll see that in fact Plot was smart enough to color the "back" three sides. You've reoriented the output so that the vertical axis is -y, the horizontal axis is z, and the into the page axes is -x, which is why the labels are "reversed".

Based on your comments, I belive what you really want to ask is how to generate a surface of reovlution about the x axes. The answer to that is to use the RevolutionAxis option, as shown here

RevolutionPlot3D[3 t, {t, 0, 3},
PlotStyle -> Directive[RGBColor[0.5, 1, 1], Opacity[0.67]],
MeshStyle -> Directive[Opacity[0.67]],
PlotTheme -> "Marketing",
AxesLabel -> {x, y, z},
BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1},
RevolutionAxis -> {1, 0, 0}
]


This will generate what I belive to be the output you want, and if you rotated is the x is horizontal and z is vertical, you'll still see the labels you want: 0 to 3 from left to right for x, and -10 to 10 from bottom to top for the z axis.

• This still isn't working when I use RevolutionPlot3D – Lanier Freeman Jul 15 '17 at 16:05
• @LanierFreeman What version are you using? – Itai Seggev Jul 15 '17 at 16:34
• 11.1 version of Mathematica – Lanier Freeman Jul 15 '17 at 16:34
• I can't reproduce that with 11.1 on either OSX or Linux. Perhaps you should clarify what you mean by "the standard directions". I assumed the you meant a vertical z either positive up, horizontal x with postive to thr right, and y into the screen. That gives a back, left, and bottom screen with the cone pointed upwards in front the backdrop. – Itai Seggev Jul 15 '17 at 18:42
• If you refer to my picture, note the vertical axis becomes negative as you go higher. I want that axis to become positive as you go higher – Lanier Freeman Jul 15 '17 at 18:44
